Tóm tắt/ chú giải | : | The book of Revelation has often been read as a set of endtime scenarios, glorifying a vengeful God and predicting and even fomenting apocalyptic violence... Harry Maier insists that, however much one is skeptical of its misuse or awed by its influence, Revelation still harbors a powerful and important message for Christians today... His fascinating book, erudite yet also intensely personal, asks us to recall Apocalypse through a careful exegesis of Revelation's deeper literary currents against the backdrop of imperial Rome... Revelation, he believes, offers an inversion of the violent and militaristic ideal of a first-century Roman Empire ... insisting the true power belongs to the hero of the Apocalypse, the Slain Lamb... |
